Abstract:
Twenty-two physical indices of the heads and faces of 643 Han adults people (334 males and 309 females) were investigated in Qionghai city and Wanning city of Hainan,thirteen physical indices were calculated and the morphological characteristics' changing in the heads and faces was analyzed preliminarily.The results are as follows:① There are 4 indices having a negative correlation with age,they are interocular breadth,external biocular breadth,lips heights,and thickness of lips.There are also 4 indices having a positive correlation with age,they are upper lips skin height,physiognomic ear length,physiognomic ear breadth and facial skinfold.And the index value in different age groups in the presence of height significant difference.② The lip index decreases by age,the difference of the indices among groups of different ages is significant.The morphological characters of the heads and faces show certain correlation to the changing of the age in Han people of Hainan.
